CUSTOMS FORM
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Print
your last name - this is your family name - in my case Good.
Print your first name - this is your
given name - in my case Robin.
Print your middle initial - in my case
L.
2. Print the date of your birth - day/month/year - if you
were born
on August 31,1968, you'd put 31/08/1968.
3. Print the number of family members traveling with you
- if you are
alone - put 0; if you're traveling with your
husband and son -
put 2; do not include yourself in the
count.
4. Print your current street address in the United States.
Print your city and state.
5. Print the name of the country that issued your passport
- in most
cases that will be the United States.
6. Print your passport number - this is found in the upper
right hand corner of your passport on
the page with your picture.
7. Print the name of the country you live in - in most cases
that will
be the United States.
8. Print the name or names of the countries you visited
on this trip -
in most cases that will be Italy; if you also
traveled to France, list
France.
9. Print your flight number and airline - for example:
Continental Flight #41.
10. Since this is more than likely a vacation, mark box #10 as NO.
11. You should not be bringing fruits, plants or insects back to
the
United States, so mark the box NO.
You should not be bringing meats, animals
or wildlife products
back to the United States, so mark the
box NO.
You should not be bringing disease agents,
cell cultures or snails
back to the United States, so mark the
box NO.
You most likely are not carrying soil
back to the United States, so
mark the box NO.**
**However, if you did visit a farm and
came in to contact with
farm animals etc.
Be truthful and mark the box YES.
12. You probably didn't handle livestock, so mark the box NO.
13. If you are bringing $10,000 or more in United States dollars or
the equivalent in foreign money - in this
case Euros (or any other
kind for that matter) - mark the box YES.**
However, I find it doubtful that you'd
be bringing that kind of
money back from a vacation - so mark
the box NO. If in doubt,
read the back of the form for clarification.
14. You should not be bringing commercial goods for sale back from
your vacation, so mark the box NO. If you
are, then mark the
box YES.
15. If you are a resident of the United States (and in most cases you
are), put down the total value of the goods
you bought and are
bringing back in to the United States. For
example, if you bought a
gold bracelet for $125 and also purchased
some pottery for $75
and also purchased some tourist gifts at $100
- then you put
down a total of $300. If you have receipts
- keep them handy.
X - Sign the form.
THE BACK OF THE FORM
Read the back of the form. There is NO need to fill in the blanks on
the back of the form - those spaces are for others.
